Who Wore It Best: Juan Pablo Galavis or Chuck Bass

In this week’s installment of Who Wore It Best?, the Fug Girls look at most hated man of the week, The Bachelor's Juan Pablo Galavis and fictional playboy Chuck Bass, who both apparently have a penchant for outlandish ties.

To say Juan Pablo Galavis needs an image makeover is on par with suggesting Vladimir Putin seems a bit weird sometimes. It’s obviously a shock that a paragon of romance and tasteful restraint such as The Bachelor should find itself fronted by a sleazy jerk, but Galavis took the cake, crawled inside it, and jumped out again: spent his season hiding behind a language barrier, slut-shaming girls he slept with, and basically embarrassing anyone who has ever spoken a word of Spanish, played a minute of soccer, or even just turned on ABC. And instead of using a proper spin doctor—or hell, even The Spin Doctors—Galavis went on TV to defend himself in clothes that look like a scented candle you got for free and threw out because it smells like the handwash at your gynecologist's office

As unapologetic horndogs go, JP could learn a lot from Gossip Girl’s Chuck Bass (especially about weaseling out of awkward sexual missteps and making inappropriate remarks seem charming). Galavis looks under-confident and squirrelly in his muted Laura Ashley mauves; Chuck is crisp and commanding, drawing you in with assertive pinks, and a use of paisley that is deliciously assured—like the man who gets INTO your lingerie drawer, as opposed to JP, who looks like the inside of the drawer itself. For that and his cool nonchalance, Chuck wins easily—which makes sense, after all, because he’s Chuck Bass.
